Overview

The 'A' walk follows part of the Viking Way in the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB so expect moorland, rolling hills, hidden valleys and woods. Our walk links the market towns of Caistor and Market Rasen and goes via Nettleton, Normanby Le Wold, Walesby (Ramblers Church) and Risby.
The route mostly follows field paths and tracks with some road walking, negotiating 34 gates but there are no stiles.

A shorter 'B' walk will follow a different section of the Viking Way.
